Eight months have passed since the tragic death of the former head of the justice department, Christian Pilnacek. He will not be completely at peace for a long time yet. In two days' time, ex-Green Party member Peter Pilz will publish a book in which he intends to present the results of the analysis of Pilnacek's laptop. There are rumblings in the Ministry of Justice, as Pilnacek's research has now led to charges being brought against Zadic's head of cabinet.

The Pilnacek Commission is currently working on its final report. Both Pilz and the commission will focus on Pilnacek and his relationship with the ÖVP. It will come to light that the former section head supported ÖVP MPs in preparing parliamentary questions during the more than two years of his suspension.
